I am out of the hospital!!! The attending doctor yesterday was like "Well, we would like to do some more tests...". I gave her my best evil look and stated: "The Olympics start Friday night, I will go home on Friday." And here I am! *happydance*

good grief, girl! was wondering where you'd run off to! take care of yourself! (says the one stuck in bed @ home because she has one nasty flu virus)

Dai tried the quad 9 times, landed once with a hand down, the rest, falls or stepouts.
Nobu couldn't land the quad until the 6th trial when he succeeded in 4-3. Wrong music was played because he submitted a CD of his Ex program (SO Nobu) .
Koz tried the quad three times and landed twice. But fell on 3A twice.http://headlines.yahoo.co.jp/hl?a=20...000133-mai-spo

Oh Nobu! I do hope he gets the right CD this time.
I hope either Dai stops trying or try less, he can end up injured after so many tries and falls.

USA Men- All 3 were rock solid! 3 runthrus of short prgm, and 3 clean prgms. Jeremy the only one who did nice quads out of prgm. If they skate like that, not much will separate them after the short! They'll be with striking distance, which is all you need after short.....is a shot GREATDAY....energy level is way up, and the Opening Ceremonies tonight!!

thanks Spun Silver - caught the flu and have been down for about a week... blah. there's too much going on right now for me to be sick! Olympics, Fur Rondy, Iditarod all happening on top of each other! plus work and family life!

oh well, time will stop tonight when I get to watch the [tape delayed] opening ceremonies.

Johnny should totally come to Rondy some year... the Anchorage Figure Skating Club puts on a show every year and seem to prefer outside "stars" to skate in teh show... Parker Pennington skated last year.

its ok, i will tell you the highlights tommorow.
That is if i stay awake for the whole ceremony, my sis is duracell and wants to see how they will light the flame, i think i ll give up earlier!
Take care of you, next weeks will be hard

Koz landed a quad and Nob landed 4-3. Dai had a hand down. I personally hope that he would not try the quad.

Sorry, my bad... I feel so stupid... I rushed to youtube, ordered by date uploaded, and noticed that video. There were 2 male skaters supposeddly both from russian team, so from the distance I though the guy is Plushenko, while in fact the guy is Borodulin. Plushy was not even there on Feb 10, he arrived to Van on Feb 11. So I rushed and posted the link all over the web Now I feel so stupid... At least I hope you enjoed some funky russian pop tunes lol

Anyways, for the real Plushy's practice video my guess is we will have to wait until Mishin gets online to chat with his friends and accidently uploads Plushy's video to his blog

Wow looks like Jeremy has peeked at the right time... His quads at US Nationals were impressive, and form his recent Twitter posts it sounds like he feels real comfortable on the Vancouver's ice.
